On Monday, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, the newly appointed prime minister of Thailand, expressed her gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his greetings and expressed her eagerness to collaborate closely with him to strengthen the current relationships and explore unexplored potentials to generate even more chances for the two nations.
The 37-year-old former corporate executive, Shinawatra, was selected by Parliament two days after a court ruling ousted her predecessor, and on Sunday she received a royal letter of recommendation, making her Thailand’s youngest prime minister.
Shinawatra stated in a post on X that she was looking forward to working closely with you to further enhance their bilateral relations, particularly in the fields of trade and investment, culture, people-to-people interaction, and tourism—in particular, to expand air travel between the two nations.
I am confident that we can build upon our existing ties and explore untapped potentials to create even greater opportunities for our two countries, peoples and beyond, she said further in the post that was in response to Prime Minister Modi’s post congratulating her.
Congratulations @ingshin on your election as the Prime Minister of Thailand. Best wishes for a very successful tenure. Look forward to working with you to further strengthen the bilateral ties between India and Thailand that are based on the strong foundations of civilisational, cultural and people to people connect, Modi said earlier in the day in a post on X.
Paetongtarn became the Prime Minister days after the Constitutional Court removed Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin within a year of his assuming charge after the court found him guilty of a serious ethical breach.
She belongs to a political dynasty founded by her billionaire father, Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted by a military coup in 2006. He returned to Thailand last year when his party formed the government.
